ECU cannot confirm whether any of its courses or programs meet requirements for professional licensure outside of the State of North Carolina. ECU strongly encourages students to contact applicable licensing boards in states they wish to pursue licensure prior to seeking admission or beginning study in an academic program.

Licensure Only

Licensure Only programs will vary by content area. The length of a Licensure Only program will depend on your background in the content area and how many courses you are willing to take each semester. Students must take classes each semester in order to maintain eligibility to register. Should you skip a semester, you will be required to be re-admitted to the university.

Once your transcripts have been evaluated your Licensure Only plan will be emailed to you (usually within 2-3 weeks). You can then choose whether or not you wish to affiliate with ECU and enroll in the program (see Licensure Only Plan Step-by-Step Guide).

Directions: Select"Online Undergraduate Admission Application", read the application instructions carefully. You will be required to provide the Undergraduate Admissions Office with a sealed official transcript from the university where you received your bachelor's degree in addition to the fee and required agreement statement (ECU graduates, after 1991, have transcripts on file and do not need to submit official transcripts). On the application you will only need to complete the items with the * symbol. For "Entrance Status" you must select "Post Baccalaureate Teacher Licensure", if you receive an error/omission message the system wants you to verify that you are seeking teacher licensure and not one of the other listed programs (review all of the text and respond to the questions then select "next" at the bottom when complete). For Desired Major you will want to select "Teacher Licensure". Please make sure you answer all required questions and click submit. You will need to pay the $70 application fee with either a VISA or MasterCard.

When completing your application, be sure NOT to choose a Second Degree option or Graduate School Application.
